Stade Pierre-Mauroy will host a crucial clash as les Dogues look to build on an emphatic 4-0 win over Toulouse and strengthen their grip on a Champions League spot. Given Lille's better form, we predict a 1-0 home win. Lille have been in excellent form, winning 7 of their last 10 matches (2.20 PPG), while boasting one of the league’s most solid defenses, conceding just 0.60 goals per game. Their matches are typically controlled and efficient, with a 50% clean sheet rate and only 30% BTTS, underlining their defensive discipline.
Nice, on the other hand, under pressure after a 1-1 draw with Le Havre, sitting dangerously close to the relegation zone. Their recent form is poor (0.70 PPG), with just a 10% win rate and serious attacking struggles, scoring only 0.70 goals per match while failing to score in 60% of games. The likely absence of Charles Vanhoutte further weakens an already inconsistent side. While Nice have historically been competitive in this fixture, Lille’s current form, defensive strength, and motivation give them a clear edge.
Given Lille's fine form, defensive solidity, and Champions League motivation, Home Win should be considered, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Lille to Win to Nil.
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Saturday 18 April 2026 at 20:05.
